Syracuse, N.Y. -- More mosquitoes infected with West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis have been trapped in Cicero.

Evidence of West Nile was found in a mosquito trap on Taft Road, while EEE turned up in a trap on Island Road, according to the Onondaga County Health Department. Mosquitoes from the traps were collected Sept. 20 and sent to the state Health Department lab in Albany for testing.

The total number of mosquitoes trapped remains low, the department said.

A 4-year-old Oswego County girl died of EEE last month, the fifth EEE death in Central New York since 1971.

Until the first frost, people should continue using mosquito repellent and take other precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes while outdoors. The department said people should wear shoes, socks, long pants and long-sleeved shirts when outside for long periods of time. It also advised the public to keep yards free of standing water that attracts the insects.
